The various embodiments of my invention will be understood by reference to the nocompanying drawing, in which show on alternating lamp provided with a tr starting device includingA tilting pn'rtsrerting part-s, and transfer parts.

In the drewing l show a form of oir-cuits to be used in connection with im alternating current lamp. In the first instance the nier cury puddles, shown at 32 and 33, are out oi Contact and when the circuit of themiains 34 and 35 is elosed,current passes through the lifting magnet, 36, and by *my of the wire or conductor, 37, to o cut-out1r 38, and back to the line. Between the mains are connected two choke Coils. and l0,
